Question 262798: Circle J has a radius of 6 in. Radii JK and JL form an angle that is not a straight angle. The length of KL is not 6 in. Classify JKL according to its sides.
Please if at all possible it would be nice if it was answered today. I copied this right from my math book so, i dont know how else to word it. thank you!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'm not sure what you are looking for, but here's what I think.
the center of your circle is J.
you have 2 radii.
they are JK and JL.
they form the triangle JKL.
the line segment KL is a chord on the circle.
since JK and JL are both radii, then they both equal 6 and the triangle JKL that is formed is an isosceles triangle.
Jk and JL are the equal legs and the line segment KL is the base.
That's about all I can figure out from what you stated.
since you don't know what the angle is that the 2 radii form, you can't really tell anything more about this triangle other than that it is isosceles.
